    • Todays verse on my calendar: "Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being." Genesis 2:7

       

      There's nothing that God cannot do except invade our thought life without our permission. Although He gives life to us, He also wants us to make our own choices and decisions. This is how He created the first man, Adam. God has given us freedom to choose. He also wants us to seek Him on our own free will. For in choosing and deciding, we learn life's consequences. God intends for us to learn from those consequences that we face each time we make choices.

      God also knows that if we are left to our own devices, we will sorely fail 100 percent. It's the make up of a man after Adam and Eve were removed from God's grace when they sinned against God and His one very important command. As He planned what to do to save us, He chose people to warn us of dangers of making wrong choices in life. He has given people His wisdom to speak of God's commands and instructions so we can be guided in our daily life. But if we reject God's good intentions for us which will not make us know of God's desire to protect us, then we do not have the right to get on God's case for the calamities that besiege us in life. We cause our own storms in life - trials, tribulations and struggles in life are of our own doing. We are our own enemies. Our own thinking is the enemy of our souls. As humans, we are self-centered, stubborn and defy the utmost authority of us all - God. Human minds think that if we rely on God, we will not be happy and successful in life at all. Human minds think that trusting and believing in God and His commands make them weak. Oh, how we are so wrong! We really create the persons we've become.

      What would happen if we say: Okay God, I surrender! I give you my thinking! Please make my mind align with your mind...

      It's a start of wisdom, not of man but of God's wisdom. It really starts from there to find peace, joy and success in life and great life accomplishments. Aligning our thoughts with God's thoughts. As we do this, we start to really see who God is and we start to BELIEVE the Truth of God's Word; one of which is to first believe that He sent His Son to die for us, to cover our sins with Jesus' own blood from the cross. BELIEVE and PROCLAIM that JESUS IS LORD! Our Savior that will remove our sins, and make us totally NEW in thoughts and in words.
